TravelGenee #atozchallenge Summary 2016

I thought that I was finished with the A to Z challenge this year and then remembered the summary page.

My primary goal was to write a post about a given or surname in my family tree that started with the letter for the day. This would share more information about the ancestors, siblings, and their descendants that I am researching. I might discover more “cousins” that can share details with me.

Secondly, I wanted to include my research methods, tips or thoughts on family history research. Helping other researchers through my own research is another reason I write this blog. I bias my help to beginners, however, a few experts might find the odd tip or three.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought the summary was warranted as once time goes on the posts will be lost in the feed. Also bloggers that write a number of other posts in April might think about a summary as it can be useful if readers just want to read through the A to Z posts.

Fran, what a creative process. Glad you did the Summary Page. It just gave me the idea that maybe even before I finish my blog I might want to do this. I like WYARD- “The one with the biggest tree does not win.” That was certainly true with my Cramer Family where I did a post after a wonderful genealogist posted a link on this family. This family has been elusive for about forty years, and I still have work to do on it. Love your titles.

The summary page is a great idea! (Mine is part of the website’s main menu.) Yes, the A to Z is a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth it. I’m glad we met during your road trip.Debbie D recently posted..REFLECTIONS #AtoZChallenge 2016

Nice to see this. I am also planning a summary post for May 6, to get back on a weekly schedule. I thought the A to Z Challenge was worth it for connections made with fellow bloggers, particularly genealogy bloggers. That said, it was a bit of work, so I would plan further ahead for the next time 🙂 Molly http://mollyscanopy.com/
